let me know the truth
C        D             G
let me know the truth
might of smoked a few in my time
would never thought it was a crime
knew the day would surely come
when i'd chill and settle down
when i think i've found a good old fashioned girl
then she put me in my place
everyone's a little queer
oh, can't she be a little straight
i'm dumb she's a lesbian
i thought i had found the one
we were good as married in my mind
but married in my mind's no good
pink triangle on her sleeve
let me know the truth
let me know the truth

D                     G

        C(addG)    C   D  
no more sighing in her breast

     D               G
i'm sorry for what i did

      Em(addG)     C(addG)       
i did what my body told me to

  D                     G
i didn't mean to do you harm

     G7              C              D              G
everytime i pin down what i think i want it slips away

    Em(addG)    C(addG)       C(addG)
the goal slips away



G         Em(addG)       C   
smell you on my hand for days

        D              G 
i can't wash away your scent

         Em(addG)          *
if i'm a dog then you're a bitch

G       Em(addG)          C   
i guess you're as real as me

      D               G 
maybe i can live with that

      Em(addG)    *
maybe i need fantasy

                      D
life of chasing butterfly

     D               G              
i'm sorry for what i did

i did what my body told me to

everytime i pin down what i think i want it slips away

    Em(addG)    C(addG)...
the goal slips away



G      Em(addG)    C  
i told you i would return

         D               G
when the robin makes his nest

            Em(addG)     *
but i ain't never coming back

G     D   G
